Site Selection

Our site selection consulting consists of a wide range of services that provide you valuable support on where to locate your U.S. business. We include five crucial steps to a successful site selection:

We define the project parameters; your project goals are accurately captured through a detailed questionnaire.

We adapt your project needs into a Request for Information (RFI) and reach out to our economic development partners who identify available properties. After careful analysis and elimination of weak properties, we create a “Long List” of candidates.

We make advance community and site inspections with local authorities to eliminate weak properties. Joint site visits follow and include further talks with state and local authorities.

We provide comparisons of operating costs (wages, utilities, lease rates) and an overview of taxes; we schedule discussions regarding work force training and incentives. Requests for proposal (RFP) are issued to the communities requesting an overview of local support. Additional site visits to short-listed communities take place.

We support you in final discussions with the state and communities together with your attorney and tax accountant: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State and Community as well as the completion of the lease or purchase contract.
